The inside of the upper is soft to the touch and there is some padding around the ankle as well as added foam in the now-separate tongue but thankfully, the sandwich mesh anf the upper as a whole doesn't feel stuffy or too hot. The upper is made of a soft and breathable sandwich mesh material and indeed, the Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 38 feels soft and breathable.

Admittedly, leaving the toe box free from eyelets and concentrating them on the midfoot section make the front of the shoes more comfortable without compromising much on stability. There is also new midfoot webbing that in theory helps “runners lace up to a personalised fit”, but then again, lacing in general allows you to do that so I’m just not sure. Nike says “runners might notice it feels similar to models prior to the Pegasus 36.” I’ll let you be the judge of that. Despite having wide feet, I kind of enjoyed running in the Peg 37, but the Pegasus 38 feels even more comfortable with its spacious toe box. The upper and the general fit of the Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 38 have indeed been improved. (Image credit: Future) Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 38: ergonomics
The biggest difference between the Peg 37 and the Peg 38 is the upper which I will discuss in the next section. The React foam is not quite as bouncy as the ZoomX foam found in the Vaporfly and the Nike ZoomX Invincible Run and certainly not as soft as the bubbly Nike Joyride Run Flyknit, but for training purposes over moderate distances, the React is probably the best compromise between performance and longevity. These air pockets are combined with the resilient yet soft Nike React foam which I really liked in pretty much every Nike running shoe I tried so far, including the Nike React Infinity Run.

You have the forefoot Zoom Air air pockets providing propulsion and more stability, compared to the full length Zoom Air units found in previous models prior to the Peg 37.
If even the manufacturer claims that the updates are small, you can rest assured they really are. The new Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 38 “has subtle updates to fit in the midfoot and brings back the forefoot Zoom Air unit from the Peg 37 for the right touch of springiness underfoot”, according to Nike (opens in new tab). I will be referring back to the Peg 37 quite a lot here so please bear with me. (Image credit: Future) Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 38: the tech
